He loves me, she loves me not.

So Bob Parson/GoDaddy sent me a Valentine! How sweet!

But, could the girlfriend be bothered? Nah...

Maybe hers will be a surprise planned for later in the day.

I haven't received anything.. no card, no note, no breakfast in bed. It's what I expected.

Following up, imagine my surprise to walk away from my desk and return to find a heart shaped box of sweets from anonymous. Hmmmmm.

I know what I'm hoping for... From the article cited in the Hate Valentine's Day? [webmasterworld.com] thread:

“There’s no reciprocated holiday for the guy. Like how about a steak and pr0n night? Would that be so awful?”

[...]

And what does he usually get from his other half on St. Valentine's delightful day of love and affection?

“Nothing. Hopefully sex,” he said, laughing.

Now there's a fellow after my own heart... and stuck in the same situation. ;)

Reuters, via Yahoo!: Japanese women bitter at Valentine chocolate duty [news.yahoo.com]

Japanese women are fed up with a longstanding Valentine's Day custom requiring them to give chocolates to men without getting any in return.

Want chocolate? Gimme steak 'n' pr0n!

My valentine gave me a card but wrote nothing inside!

What gives?

Is it only me who doesn't think that particularly romantic?
